Time seems to not be your best friend.You wonder if this will e’er end.Will you ever see the light of day?You cry, and you hope, and you pray. But, time then goes on with no change.You … Continue reading Down in The Dumps

Where Are You Tonight?
Where are you tonight?Please describe your plight.Are you giving in?Drowning in your sin? Do you see the truth?Like a rotten tooth?There’s nowhere to goTo hide what you know. Cover what you may.Darkness now will stay.Knowing the way outDoes not move the doubt. Look into the heart.That is where you partFrom what is the truth,Doing what’s … Continue reading Where Are You Tonight?
It’s Sad
It’s sad, you know,Watching someone you loveWandering so,Seeming to go nowhere. Each day’s noDifferent from the other.It’s the same old, same oldDay after day after day. No purpose or directionSeems to be found.Just existing,Putting in their time. Sleep, awake, eat, play.What you going to do today?Same old, same old.Not much new. Same old patternsCome into … Continue reading It’s Sad

Life Before Santa
‘Twas the life before Santa,And all through the church,They were praising their Lord,And His righteousness searched.

Talk, Talk, Talk
Talk, talk, talk –When you going to walk?Baby in a crib –All you do is fib. Idle talk you give.To Him you don’t live.Misinterpreting Him,So that you can sin. You know what is true.To Him, you know what’s due.Don’t pretend you don’t,Just because you won’t. Actors in a hall,Saying “Let’s play ball!”To you, it’s all … Continue reading Talk, Talk, Talk
